A Florida Walmart cashier allegedly swiped a winning lottery ticket worth nearly $3,000 from an elderly customer trying to collect his payout Sunday. Tameka Hall, 40, was hit with a felony grand-theft charge after being caught on surveillance folding up the customer’s winning lottery receipt and stuffing it into her uniform pocket before walking out of the DeLand superstore, according to court documents obtained by WKMG. Police said the victim went to Walmart in the morning to cash in his $2,700 lottery ticket and that Hall explained to him how he could claim his winnings — but then never handed over the receipt he needed to redeem it for the money.
